High-glucose/low-dose insulin-mediated insulin resistance of glucose transport was studied in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. In this model, proximal insulin signaling, including insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1-bound phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) activation, is preserved, but insulin-stimulated protein kinase B (Akt) activation is markedly impaired. To assess a difference in acute insulin-stimulated production of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PtdIns(3,4,5)P3], cells were labeled with [32P]orthophosphate, and glycerophosphoinositides were quantified by HPLC. Although basal PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 was similar, insulin stimulated its production 33.6% more in controls (P &lt; 0.03) than in insulin-resistant cells. Phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) protein, a lipid phosphatase that dephosphorylates PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 in the 3-position, was significantly and specifically increased in insulin-resistant cells. Treatment with rapamycin [a specific inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1)] inhibited the increased PTEN expression and partially restored insulin-stimulated glucose transport and Akt activation to insulin-resistant cells. Acute insulin markedly stimulated Ser(636/639) phosphorylation of IRS-1; this was rapamycin inhibited but was significantly decreased in cells that had been preexposed to insulin, whereas total IRS-1 was unaffected. These findings were essentially paralleled by changes in the activation of p70 S6 kinase and S6-ribosomal protein. Overexpression of uncoupling protein-1 or manganese superoxide dismutase did not prevent the development of insulin-resistant glucose transport and impaired Akt activation in high-glucose/low-insulin-pretreated cells. The insulin resistance associated with glucotoxicity in our model reflects in part decreased availability of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3, which correlates with increased PTEN protein expression. Chronic activation of mTORC1 plays a role in stimulating PTEN expression and possibly in activation or induction of a phosphoprotein phosphatase. No evidence was found for a role for increased mitochondrial superoxide production in this model.
